Such an awesome place. I just did a road trip through Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon. The waterfalls were really flowing due to all the run off from the high snow pack this year. They were calling the Mist trail, the 'Hurricane Trail', which I can attest to!

This is from a couple of years back (May 2008 - just before the major rock fall closed Camp Curry.)Assembled from 4 frames from an IR modified 40D using an EF-S 17-85. Yep, at f/8, every lens could wear a Zeiss label

While you can easily see the bow with bare eyes, the colors are not obvious.(I imagined I could just make out the red at the top of the bow with my bare eyes) This image was made with a 30 second exposure.

If you look carefully you can just make out the second - making it a Double Rainbow !(or am I imagining that too :-)

You can find the few dates a year this occurs with an online calculator (I just got lucky and a local teacher told me about it). Briefly, you need a large runoff to make big mist at the base of the Falls. Then you need to get there within a few days of a full moon. Last the skies should be fairly clear.

In my case I prefer that you use the link rather than asking for photos to be reposted here. There are two main reasons:1) Why waste the server space and effort by double-posting when following a link is easy?2) Flickr automatically associates each photo with my preferred licensing terms.

i know you gusy have iamge"s galley website and that"s good, but what i concern about share images of Yousemite national park at this topic and thread and disscouss and ,,,,,i don"t think so they don"t have enough space!! they have it and don"t worry about it, if yo like just share of your image ,or if you worry about server space, don"t share it,we have lot of people who like more activity and upload image.In my case I prefer that you use the link rather than asking for photos to be reposted here.

@goretexguy: I think the first photo with the chapel looks absolutely amazing. The color contrast definitely added to the flavor of the snow scene. Just curious, but did you use any filters for this shot?
